  • What llm said is correct - TLS is predicting either the 1st or the 2nd for score release. This is what usually happens: The green icons on everyone's "LSAT Status" page turn gray sometime (2-5) in the afternoon. At that point, scores get released …
  • Two things: 1. That puppy is adorable. 2. In terms of taking a full-length practice test, I think using the old PT's can be kind of tricky. You want a full PT to be completely new to you, and since a lot of study materials use old questions, somet…
  • The bubble sheet is not attached to the test booklet - your setup should work just fine.
  • Depends on your progress. The LSAT will (unfortunately?) always be there, so taking the exam before you feel ready is usually a short-sighted move. Study hard over the summer. If you are PT'ing in the high 160s and low 170s by the end of September, …
  • When you post a reply / when people "like" your reply, you get karma. It's used (I think) as a means to encourage (friendly!) community discussion.

  • Full disclosure, I didn't take the test, but this is what I've heard from other people that did: Apparently it was a double layer circular game. Obviously I've never seen the question, but I get the feeling if people had set it up as a double layer…
  • A ---> B ---> C Deny (fail) sufficient: We're told that A is in the out group. This means the first part of the rule falls away and we're left with B ---> C as our only rule. Deny (fail) necessary: We're told that C is in the out group. T…
  • Why are we trying to negate incompetence? To negate a conditional, you say that some of the sufficients are not necessary. A --> B negated is A Some /B. C: No one incompetent to practice a particular specialty completes the evaluation program f…
  • 1. The only students with brown hair are students with brown eyes BH ---> BE 2. Students with brown hair always have brown eyes. BH ---> BE Have you done the worksheets at the end of the lesson group? They should have plenty of examples of t…
  • LR should be easier to improve than RC. Can you get that number down to -2 or -3 if you do an untimed LR section? That would help clarify what the problem is. The Economist is sufficient reading material, to be honest. Politics aside, it's science…
  • Agree with everything said above. LG is incredibly repetitive and is pretty easy to pick up. LR takes some practice - you need to learn how to spot assumptions, but, again, taking the 7sage course (as well as significant amounts of drilling question…
  • Ike: I missed 7, 10, 16, 17, 23. Did better on my prep test today, thankfully. I honestly just wish I could walk in and take the test tomorrow. Want to get this over with already haha
  • I like 7sage's categorization (and overall LG advice) better than Powerscore's. I'd keep the PC book to do the games in the back of the book, but I'd use 7sage for the actual learning process.
  • Obviously not ike, but I figured I'd throw my 2 cents in (almost always get -0 or -1 on RC sections) About 3:30 to read the passage, about 3-4 minutes to the questions. Usually finish with a few minutes to spare at the end. For the earlier PT's (…
  • It's a watch specifically made for the LSAT. You can find one on amazon if you're interested. Personally, I'm of the opinion that it's really not worth the money. If you really struggle reading analog watches, then, yea, I guess, but I think most p…
  • I second everything ikethelsat just said. Keep working, keep focusing on your mistakes and seeing where you can improve. Stay positive too! Your scores are extremely good, and you should have a lot of confidence going into test day!
  • Laestelle - essentially, but not exactly. SA, PSA, and strengthen questions are all asking you to make the argument better (i.e. close the assumption gap between the premise and the conclusion). SA questions close the gap completely - this means tha…
  • You can figure this out using your raw score (however many correct you got out of 101) and the scoring chart released by the LSAC. Use this link: http://www.cambridgelsat.com/resources/data/consolidated-score-conversion-charts/ A 160 means you prob…
  • Obviously GPA/LSAT are the the predominant factors in an application, but having good work experience can certainly help as well. You might have some trouble finding a job at a private/corporate law firm. I know one or two firms have summer undergra…
  • What's your GPA? The difference between a 167 and a 170 in scholarship money is huge, especially if you have a high GPA. Mess around with mylsn and with the LST reports and you'll see what I'm talking about. Ultimately, choosing a law school is ab…
  • Treat it as a normal if-then statement. I don't think the necessary changes anything. I think this would work: N ---> RR If it is necessary for people to register for the race, then they need to register for the race.
  • Definitely agree with what David said above. That withstanding, reading comprehension is the key for LR (and obviously RC) so I understand why you asked the question. Here's my take on the argument: The first sentence is context. Some people (not t…
  • TechSupport - I think I fall into the "avid reader with strong comprehension" category. I read the passage and answer the questions, referring back to specific sentences as needed. Comparatively speaking, the LSAT passages are generally much easier …
  • Definitely the first way. If you use the second method, the only valid conclusion you could draw would be "C some D"
  • RC: -0 to -1. LR: -2 to -3. LG: -3 to -4. I think I'm slightly unusual, however. I get the feeling most people score higher on the LG but lower on the LR.
  • Not sure if there is a method to recognizing trap answer choices. When you get a question wrong, just make sure you understand why the correct answer is correct and why the wrong answer is wrong. Have you worked through the LR lessons yet? These wil…
  • -2 on LR (x2) + -2 on RC + -4 on LG = -10...isn't -10 usually in the 171-172 range? That withstanding, LG is definitely the most easily learned section. 2 months of timed drilling should be plenty of time. Also, don't forget you're allowed to skip…
